The complete question in the attached figure

Let
x------------->  pounds of almonds-------> (<span>$7 per pound)
</span>y------------->  pounds of cashews-------> ($10 per pound)
z------------->  pounds of walnuts------->  ($12 per pound)

we know that
x+y+z=12---------------> equation 1
7x+10y+12z=118---------> equation 2
z=2+y--------------------> equation 3

<span>replacing equation 3 in 1 and 2
</span>x+y+(2+y)=12----------> x+2y=10--------> equation 4
7x+10y+12*(2+y)=118--> 7x+10y+24+12y=118--> 7x+22y=94 --> equation 5

using a graph tool-----> to resolve the system of equations
see the attached figure

the solution is the point (4,3)
x=4
y=3
z=2+y-----> z=2+3-------->z=5

pounds of almonds are 4
pounds of cashews are 3
pounds of walnuts are 5

therefore

the answer is the option
a. The customer buys 1 more pound of walnuts than almonds and 1 more pound of almonds than cashews
